Emergency Credit – Prepayment Mode
In the event the tenant / user is unable to purchase new cards and once the normal credit level falls
below £/€ 1, pressing the red button will provide the user with £/€3 credit. An ‘E’ will appear on the
display indicating emergency credit has been invoked. The tenant / user will be able to use all of the
£/€ 3 until the meter will disconnect the supply. When supply is disconnected, the meter will show

the supply. Please see example below:

Installation and Connection
NOTE: The installation of this device must only be undertaken by a suitably trained and qualified
electrician; all local safety standards must be observed. All work must satisfy Building/IEE Wiring
regulations in force at the time. Work must be passed by an approved NICEIC member.
Fixing - The meter is intended to be used within an indoor environment and must be positioned
away from sources of water, excess heat and humidity. If installing outside, the meter must be fitted
within a weatherproof meter cabinet or similar IP rated box.
Mounting points are provided as shown on the fitting template provided. Follow the template
instructions for screw positions. Initially, the meter should be hung from the top bracket using a
suitable round head screw such that the head fits snugly under the hanging point. Once hung, the
meter should be screwed to the wall securely using the two fixing points located under the meter
terminal cover.
1
Wiring - The meter must be protected against
overcurrent. This is normally as part of the building
installation (Service fuse to BS1361) or equivalent;
maximum current through the meter must not
exceed 100Amps. The meter is wired using the
connections found under the grey terminal cover
as shown here on the right.

Before use please read these instructions carefully
Thank you for purchasing a Digicard card operated meter. These instructions are intended to provide
information on the installation, operation and programming of the meter. Please keep for future
reference.
This meter is designed to be used for the control of the electricity supply in Utility or secondary
metered sites such as Holiday and Landlord accommodation. The meter is fully approved to the
European metering standard, MID (Metering Instruments Directive). The meter is therefore tested
and approved as accurate for billing purposes. The meter may also be used as a time controller.
Basic Features
The meter is designed to work with either pre-charged disposable or re-chargeable cards, depending
upon the level of infrastructure chosen. Pre-charged cards have a single value, and can be used only
once after which they are of no further use. After a rechargable card is used it can be returned to a
point of sale for re-charging with any value.
The meter is programmed by using a programming card in conjunction with the red and blue
buttons at the top of the meter. The programming function allows the energy prices and standing
charge to be set, whilst a debt collection facility enables a pre-set amount to be collected daily. The
total amount for collection is programmed and the meter will reduce this each day by collecting
monies from the remaining credit balance.
Additional card types are available to support a variety of functions including new tenancy and
servicing. Please contact your supplier for further information.
An electronic display indicates the amount of credit remaining on the meter. This display is also used
when programming energy prices, and other meter settings. The grey push button next to the
display allows the tenant / user to cycle through a set of displays showing usage totals, charges, etc.
A timer mode allows the meter to be used for the control of appliances and services. The time
period is set using a charged value card.
The consumption of energy can be seen using the red LED light below the display. The light flashes
1000 times for every 1kWh of energy used.

The programming display cycle is accessed when a programming card is introduced to and accepted
by the meter, whereupon a test display with all the display segments visible is shown. The A button
(red) can now be used to step through the display cycle and the B button (blue) used to make
changes to the displayed values. For values which can be modified pressing the B button will
increment the flashing digit, and button A will move to the next digit.

When a value card is introduced to and accepted by the meter, the card’s value is added to the
meter’s credit, and the display momentarily shows CArd NN where NN is the card value, before
returning to show the remaining credit or debt.
